Baking

This post is for an Oreo obsessive like me! These are cupcakes where you basically overload yourself on Oreo's!

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CUPCAKES

175 grams of butter

165 grams of caster sugar

3 eggs

40 grams of cocoa powder

125 grams of self-raising flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 pack of Oreo's

FOR THE ICING

100 grams of butter

175 grams of icing sugar

1 pack of Oreo's

METHOD

Turn your oven onto 180°c gas mark 4 (classic bake) then put your cupcake cases into the cupcake tins. Next cream together your butter and sugar you can use an electric whisk to a wooden spoon (doesn't really matter). Now crack your eggs into the batter and mix. Now you have to fold in your dry ingredients (cocoa powder, baking powder and flour)

Now pop an Oreo in you cupcake case this will make a little surprise for the person eating and a cute little base for your cupcakes. Then spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake cases. Next wish them luck and say good-bye to them for their trip to the oven for 17 minutes.

Once they have finished baking take them out of the oven and while they cool start on the icing. Cream the butter in a large bowl until smooth gradually adding the icing sugar once all combined get only half of your Oreo packet and break it into small pieces you can do this by blending it or even wrapping it in a tea towel and smashing it with a rolling pin. keep in mind if you want to pipe it on you need to get the Oreo pieces very fine. Once you have put the icing on your cupcakes you then halve an Oreo and add it on top (this bit is optional).\
